Various BIOS Utilities for Modding/Research
Dell HDR Module Extractor
Description
Extracts and unpacks the SPI/BIOS modules from Dell HDR executables. It can extract HDR images which are compressed both once or multiple times. After extraction, the HDR image is automatically unpacked into individual SPI/BIOS modules via LongSoft's PFSExtractor-RS tool.
Usage
You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing Dell HDR executables.
Download
An already built/frozen/compiled binary is provided by me for Windows only. Thus, you don't need to manually build/freeze/compile it under Windows. Instead, download the latest version from the Releases tab. To extract the already built/frozen/compiled archive, you need to use programs which support RAR5 compression. For Linux and macOS or courageous Windows users, the build/freeze/compile instructions for all three OS can be found below.
Compatibility
Should work at all Windows, Linux or macOS operating systems which have Python 3.6 support. Windows users who plan to use the already built/frozen/compiled binary must make sure that they have the latest Windows Updates installed which include all required "Universal C Runtime (CRT)" libraries.
Code Prerequisites
To run the utility, you need to have the following 3rd party tool at the same directory:
To build/freeze/compile the python script, you can use whatever you like. The following are verified to work:
- Py2exe (Windows)
- Py2app (macOS)
- PyInstaller (Windows/Linux/macOS)
Build/Freeze/Compile with PyInstaller
PyInstaller can build/freeze/compile the utility at all three supported platforms, it is simple to run and gets updated often.
- Make sure Python 3.6.0 or newer is installed:
python --version
- Use pip to install PyInstaller (PyPi):
pip3 install pyinstaller
- Build/Freeze/Compile:
pyinstaller --noupx --onefile Dell_HDR_Extract.py
At dist folder you should find the final utility executable
Apple EFI Sucatalog Link Grabber
Description
Parses Apple Software Update CatalogURL .sucatalog files and saves all EFI firmware package links into a text file. It removes any xml formatting, ignores false positives, removes duplicate links and sorts them in alphabetical order for easy comparison afterwards.
Usage
You can either Drag & Drop or let it automatically parse any .sucatalog files within its working directory.

Apple EFI File Renamer
Description
Parses Apple EFI files and renames them based on Apple's official IBIOSI tag as follows: Model_Version_Build_Year_Month_Day_Hour_Minute_Checksum. The checksum is calculated and added by the utility in order to differentiate any EFI files with the same IBIOSI tag. In rare cases in which the IBIOSI tag is compressed, the utility automatically first uses LongSoft's UEFIFind and UEFIExtract tools.
Usage
You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing Apple EFI firmware.
